Just before WW2 the U.S. Army evaluated a proposal for a high speed attack/pursuit fighting vehicle. It was based on a 1932 Ford roadster equipped with a Lincoln V12 engine. The P32 was tested briefly, including trials against an Army Air Corps Curtiss P40. The program was scrapped shortly after the start of the war . Bonneville Salt Flats.

This photo Crusader of the Eyes of the Fleet of VFP-63 was photographed at its home base, NAS Miramar, in December 1975. Note the stylized "??" (aka PP) as well as the Wizard of Id on the vertical tail.
